Basic Info:

Server Type: =SERVER TYPE=
Map: Exiled Lands
Server Name: =SERVER NAME=
Mods: None
Bug Description:
Game crashed during a playing session, completely freezing my system and I had to hard-reboot. Upon restart, game keeps crashing right after intro video and before main menu. I got error message: Fatal Error: [File:C\B\tech_exiles\code\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\RenderingThread.cpp] [Line:959] GameThread timed out waiting for RenderThread after 60.00secs. The game ran smoothly with zero crash for 230-ish hours since I purchased it. Now it would not start at all, even though I did not update or install anything new recently. I run the game on a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming with 12Gb RAM and Win10-64bit. The CPU is Intel i5-7300HQ @ 2.50GHz
Bug Reproduction:
Just start the game. Launcher comes up, but then after the intro starts playing then crash and error message. I tried all the proposed troubleshooting found on forums here and elsewhere: Remove all mods, Check files integrity on Steam, Uninstall/clean-up/re-install of the game, Check GPU drivers (all are up-to-date) etc but absolutely nothing works. Reading through the forums, I see several reports of this error over the last 5 years, but none show positive resolution… Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
